Cousins

ok well most of you are getting close but i recon your slightly off. the song is about origins.

You found a sweater on the ocean floor they're gonna find it if you didn't close the door you and the smart ones sit outside of their sight in a house on a street they couldn't park on at night

sweaters are regaurded as a posh kind of clothing, and finding it then closing the door is denying your rich. smart ones, out of sight, the street they couldnt park on at night, they intentionally pretended they were poor to stay. i get poor because a good car will get broken into on a bad street. in summary this person denied a rich background for the sake of their profession.

Dad was a risk-taker his was a shoemaker you, greatest hits 2006 little list-maker, heard codes in the melodies you heeded the call you were born with ten fingers and you're gonna use them all

grampa worked a hard honest profession, dad put his ass on the line to get where he is, then their is you who makes pointless music lists for a living. i get the negative assumption from "little", meaning insignificant, and the fingers bit, which says is that your only talent, counting on the fingers you were given at birth (counting/listing)

Interesting colors I discovered myself if your art life is gritty, you'll be toasting my health if an interest in culture should be lining the wall, when your birthright is interest you could just accrue it all

this is about them and their music. they have used "gritty" in terms of courage not texture. basically our music is bold and heavily influenced by culture and diversity. the whole bit here is rather self explanitory. this

as for the chorus i think 'learningtoharmonise' hit the nail on the head.

so basically
